This project aims to economically empower extremely rural poor women between the ages of 18 to 45 years in Ghana by implementing innovative Climate-Smart Agriculture practices integrated with modern technology, including solar-powered irrigation, mobile apps for weather forecasting and market access, and sustainable farming techniques, to enhance productivity, resilience, and financial independence.
Rural women in Ghana, who primarily depend on agriculture for their livelihoods, face severe challenges due to climate change, including unpredictable rainfall, prolonged droughts, soil degradation, and declining crop yields, which threaten their food security and economic stability. Limited access to modern agricultural technology, climate-smart farming techniques, irrigation systems, quality inputs, and reliable market connections further exacerbates their vulnerability.
This project will address the economic vulnerability of 100 rural women in Koduakrom community in Ghana by equipping them with Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) techniques and modern technology to improve productivity, resilience, and financial independence. By providing hands-on training in sustainable farming practices, including organic composting, intercropping, and drought-resistant crops, women will learn how to increase yields while preserving soil health.
The long-term impact of this project includes increased agricultural productivity and resilience among rural women, leading to sustainable food security and improved household incomes. By adopting climate-smart practices and modern technology, women farmers will enhance soil health, conserve water, and mitigate climate change effects, ensuring long-term environmental sustainability. Access to digital tools and market linkages will empower women economically, fostering financial independence.
